Switchboards Series 200

philippi STV Series 200 Circuit Breaker Panel – Comfort Panel with Rocker Circuit Breakers for Boats, Yachts & Special Vehicles

The Philippi STV Series 200 circuit breaker panels are high-quality DC switchboards designed for protected indoor installation on sailing yachts, motorboats, aluminum and steel vessels, and special vehicles. Individual circuits are switched and protected by E-T-A 3130 thermal rocker circuit breakers. The integrated indicator light shows the operating status of the circuit. In the event of a short circuit, the rocker switch returns to the OFF position and the indicator light goes out.

Briefly explained: The philippi STV Series 200 combines switching and protection in a single rocker circuit breaker – with intuitive operation, clear status indication, and trip-free operation for maximum operational safety.

What is the philippi STV Series 200 and what is it used for?

The philippi STV Series 200 is a DC switchboard for 12V and 24V onboard electrical systems, designed for protected indoor installation on yachts, boats, and vehicles. It is a larger and more comfortable evolution of the Series 100 – with larger rocker circuit breakers, higher standard protection, and a clearer, more structured design.

The Series 200 circuit breaker panels are equipped with E-T-A 3130 thermal circuit breakers. 10A types are standard; 6A, 10A, 16A, or 20A can be used upon request.

Special feature: The circuit breakers have trip-free operation – tripping in the event of a fault cannot be prevented by actuating the rocker. This ensures reliable circuit protection even with accidental operation.

How does the Series 200 rocker circuit breaker work?

Each circuit of the Series 200 is switched and protected by an E-T-A 3130 thermal rocker circuit breaker. In normal operation, the integrated indicator light shows the active status. In the event of a short circuit, the rocker switch returns to the OFF position and the indicator light goes out. After the fault has been cleared, the circuit can be put back into operation by switching it on again. No tools, no replacement fuse necessary.

Technical features of the Philippi STV Series 200

Two-pole version for aluminum and steel vessels

Especially for use on aluminum and steel vessels for galvanic isolation from the hull, the circuit breaker panels are available with two-pole rocker circuit breakers. These variants are designated STVxxx-2p and, due to their identical dimensions, can be combined with the single-pole models of the Series 200.

Which models are available in the Series 200?

The Series 200 is available in numerous configurations – from the smallest panels with 2 circuits to large switchboards with up to 24 circuits and an integrated monitor:

• STV 202 – 2 circuits, also available as a motor vessel version with navigation light monitoring
• STV 204 SY – 4 circuits, sailing yacht display with navigation light monitoring and alarm
• STV 210 – 10 circuits
• STV 218 – 7 circuits with BLS-Set battery monitor including SHE 300 shunt
• STV 256 – 14 circuits with PSM system monitor, sailing yacht display, DC and USB socket
• STV 284 – 24 circuits with PSL system monitor, navigation light monitoring, DC and USB socket

All models of the Series 200 can be combined and expanded horizontally and vertically due to their coordinated dimensions.

Series 200 vs. Series 100 – what's the difference?

What applications is the Philippi STV Series 200 suitable for?

• Sailing yachts – main switchboard below deck, navigation station
• Motorboats & motor vessels – helm station, switch console
• Aluminum and steel vessels – in the 2-pole version (galvanic isolation, two-pole protection)
• Motorhomes & expedition vehicles – central power distribution
• Special vehicles & workboats – wherever high operating safety is required

Frequently asked questions about the philippi STV Series 200

What is the difference between Series 100 and Series 200? Series 200 uses larger rocker circuit breakers (E-T-A 3130 instead of E-T-A 1140), has higher standard protection (10 A instead of 8 A), is available in a 2-pole version for aluminum and steel vessels, and offers more expansion stages up to 24 circuits.

What does trip-free operation mean? In the event of a fault, the circuit breaker must trip – this cannot be prevented by holding down the rocker. This reliably protects the cables even with accidental operation.

Are the Series 200 switchboards suitable for aluminum and steel vessels? Yes, in the 2-pole version (STVxxx-2p). The two-pole rocker circuit breakers enable galvanic isolation from the hull.

In which current ratings are the circuit breakers available? Standard 10 A, alternatively without surcharge: 6 A, 16 A or 20 A. Please specify when ordering.

Can multiple Series 200 panels be combined? Yes. Due to their coordinated dimensions, all Series 200 models can be combined horizontally and vertically as desired.

Can the Series 200 be connected to the P-Bus energy management system? Yes. Selected models (e.g., STV 256, STV 284) are available with an integrated P-Bus system monitor PSM2 or PSL.
